I'm not a plex user but I'm butthurt because you're being insufferable. Realize that not everyone is like you. You cannot apply your experience or tendencies to everyone. Sometimes, things are just too complicated for people to figure out.
If you tell me you don't have time, sure. Been there, done that. However, "too complicated"? Nah. I'm also not trying to convert people to Jellyfin users. Use what you want to. Doesn't mean that I can't think you're making the wrong choice. I'm as free to think and say what I want as you are.
